Trump Immediately Pivots When Asked About Epstein: ‘You Should Be Talking About’ Obama

President Donald Trump was asked on Tuesday to weigh in on Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement earlier in the day that he would meet Ghislaine Maxwell.

“No, I have no concern,” Trump said about the potential meeting between Jeffrey Epstein’s close associate, who is currently serving a sentence for sex trafficking.

“He’s a very talented person. He’s very smart. I didn’t know that they were going to do it. I don’t really follow that too much. It’s sort of a witch hunt. Just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold,” Trump continued, quickly pivoting away from Epstein to push his administration’s latest allegations.

“Tulsi Gabbard. What they did to this country in 2016, starting in 2016. But going up, all the way going up to 2020 in the election, they tried to rig the election and they got caught. And there should be very severe consequences for that,” Trump continued, adding:

You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, “You know what? Let’s not go too far here. It’s the ex-wife of a president,” and I thought it was sort of terrible. And I let her off the hook, and I’m very happy I did. But it’s time to start after what they did to me and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people.

Obama’s been caught directly. So people say, “Oh, you know, a group.” It’s not a group, it is Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office. They sent everything to be highly classified. Well, the highly classified has been released. And what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal. It’s criminal at the highest level. So that’s really the things you should be talking about. I know nothing about the other, but I think it’s appropriate that they do go.

Gabbard’s allegations against former President Barack Obama have been widely criticized as nonsensical, given that the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation were widely known at the time and have since been investigated by various authorities – including the Republican-led Senate, which did conclude that Russia tried to interfere on Trump’s behalf in the 2016 election.
